Mel Izanami discusses identity, language, art and technology on InDigital Insights - S04 E12

Mel Izanami was born and raised in Mexico, where he became aware of deep contradictions in his identity—contradictions that, over time, shaped not only his academic development but also his experience as an immigrant in Argentina. In this episode, he discusses how this relates to his artistic practice, and how technology can allow us to explore identity and culture in a more open way. 

NOTE: Mel preferred to speak mostly in Spanish, so those who speak only English may wish to check out this episode on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/cp-dcY4Eeq8
